Bill, I'm having trouble getting the boot.img to work. At home I have to use W98
on my one way cable modem for internet access (anxiously awaiting broadband so I
can hook up linux), downloading linux packages via http-netscape & windoze has
posed some problems for me in the past. Usually I can get around this by using a
real ftp client. However, I cannot connect to the ftp link below -is it correct?
I had to use the http link instead. I downloaded the boot.img 3 times, and was
able to rawrite image to several new floppies in drive A.
C:\Temp\rawrite -f boot.img -d A
- When I try to boot the PCD boot disk in my rh5.2 linux laptop I get a "Boot
Failed" message. Could there be a problem with this image? Has anyone else had
trouble rawriting and booting? As I said, it may be my client... would you
please upload it to another anon ftp site. Thanks, so much for your work on
this, I've been looking for a rh6 pcd boot disk since February.
